NAT might or might not be a problem, depending on implementation details.

NFS will only work if you install and configure the NFS server service from the "Windows Services For Unix" package (available for free from Microsoft) or some other NFS server software package to your Windows system.

By default, Windows Server 2003 does not understand nor support the NFS protocol at all, only CIFS.

The message "RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out" means HP-UX is trying to access the SunRPC portmapper (in port 111, normally available with both TCP and UDP) on the Windows system, but Windows is not responding. This is normal and expected in a default Server 2003 installation: it has no SunRPC services (like NFS) at all.

The Windows server needs some way to map the Unix user identities of incoming requests to Windows usernames. In the "Windows Services for Unix" package, there are multiple ways to set up the mapping.

You are trying to access the Windows filesystem as root. The equivalent user on the Windows system would be the Administrator account, and for security reasons, the NFS service is definitely not going to allow you admin access to the Windows system through NFS. Even among Unix hosts, there is a standard convention to treat the "root" user of the NFS client system as the "nobody" user when accessing NFS filesystems, unless root access is explicitly granted.

Find out how the Windows system is configured to map the Unix users to Windows users on the NFS shares, and then either pick a suitable non-root Unix user account for your tests, or fix the mapping so that the Unix root account will be mapped to some Windows user with an appropriate set of Windows-style group memberships and/or permissions.
